A number of local brewing companies, including one from Pasadena and one from Los Angeles, earned top honors this weekend at the World Beer Cup, touted as the largest commercial beer competition in the world.

Haven Brewing, which operates Haven Gastropub in Old Pasadena, earned the silver medal in the American Style Strong Pale Ale category for its Hops Inc. beer at Saturday’s awards ceremony in Boulder, Colo. The beer was chosen from among 97 entries.

“It’s an honor to win a silver medal at the World Beer Cup for Hops Inc. in the American Style Strong Pale Ale category,” Wil Dee, Managing Partner of Haven Brewing, said in a statement. “This is the result of the hard work that our Head Brewer Brian Thorson has put in over the years to produce a world-class beer that’s recognized by the World Beer Cup and Brewer’s Association.”

In addition, Ohana Brewing Company, which recently opened in Los Angeles, earned the silver medal from 31 entries in the Belgian-and French-style Ale category for its Ohana Saison Noir beer. The brewery opened a tasting room last week in Alhambra.

“What an amazing week!” the brewery posted on its Facebook page. “We started with a ribbon cutting ceremony and opening our tasting room. We end it with a Silver Medal in the World Beer Cup! Congrats to the entire team and grateful thanks to our supporters!”
